Bummed, but bring on OU!
From the pics, the quality looks pretty good. I'd probably smooth out those welds at the 3 pipe junction a bit, but otherwise, not too shabby for $300 and change. And at 14.4lbs, I'd bet that's a significant weight savings over the cast stock manifold. What diameter piping is that?

And it is 2.75" outlet.
And yah smoothing out the welds would be simple, its only that one spot that looks very messy.

Did you want to see it in person uninstalled? If so it'll be a while so we can do that if you'd like. I can meet you somewhere and show it to you, PM me and I'm sure we can work something out.

I have known OBX to be a very reputable company. Their stainless steel header at that price is a steal.
Can't wait to hear from dDuB when he install his header...or anyone who had this header installed on their RX-8.
